2. LOW BUDGET

$140,000, but managed to earn a worldwide gross figure of $26,572,439. made

that there is no evidence of a logo on the internet and the movie seems to
have been their one ‘big hit’.
3. BIG BUDGET
The Disney film Tangled was made with a budget of $260,000,000 to cover
the cost of animating it, and using 3d animation as opposed to traditional 2D
animation that is commonly seen in older Disney films. The movie grossed
over $560,000,000 at the box office. With Disney being one of the best known
film companies in the world and princess movies offering some of their
biggest exports, the film was eagerly awaited, a retelling of the story of
Rapunzel something people were intrigued to see.
4. COMPARISON
While Disney has a younger target audience, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is
aimed at older viewers, as it contains gory scenes and things that would be
unsuitable for children’s viewing.
Overall, Disney reaches a wider group of people as it appeals to families,
whereas TCM only appeals to people who enjoy the horror genre. Disney is
more universal, and is therefore the more successful institution.
